CNN: At Least 25 Killed in Catastrophic Kentucky Floods, Many Remain Missing

‘Rescues and recovery efforts are underway’

EXCERPT:

WHITFIELD: “And we begin this hour with the rising death toll after that catastrophic flooding in eastern Kentucky. You just heard the governor right there reiterate — 25 people have been killed including four children who were all siblings. But many people remain missing at this hour. You heard the governor say they continue to be in search and rescue mode. Right now, rescues and recovery efforts are underway full throttle, days after torrential rains burst river banks. Towns are inundated. And they were cut off from resources as roads and bridges were washed away. Rescuers are scrambling, working around the clock to find families who still may be trapped, some residents losing everything.”
